Cobalt_k - Portraits (1968)

My work schedule has been a real mess this week - extremely busy.  I hope to have a solid block of time this weekend to get some writing done (no time last weekend).

In the meantime, let's examine another portrait of Mistress Arianna - we've already established that she's a fan of some mod fashions - and this colorized version gives us another impression of her.

The Rehabilitation of Princess - 6

Weekend work schedules always screw up my "routine".  I'm behind with posting for this and Field Trials - but I'm also a little behind in my classwork.  I'm aiming for further updates early this week.

Time to head home.  Look's like Dad's got the mail.

Field Trials - Initial Viewer Results

Well, the first results are in from this little project:

Now, truth be told...this is turning out to be a bit of a blind spot given the format - we need to come up with a starting look for....let's call her Chief of Security (local) McCampbell.

Frankly....I'm of the opinion that for her at this point - almost "anything" would be an improvement.  I'm thinking thin, average height, somewhat scrawny, stringy, greasy hair - late 30s.  (We'll go into more background in the next installment) - obviously wearing her uniform.

But does anyone have any more specific suggestions?  Stock pics wouldn't hurt.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm back. What are we tracking now in response to this event?"

"Full audio/visual surveillance in place throughout the dwelling and surrounding neighborhood (such as it is) - they won't be able to make a move without us knowing it."

"Good to hear - wait a sec - where's the third individual?  The perp - he's the one we should be watching most closely."

"Nothing to worry about Chairwoman - he left a little while ago to procure additional sustenance - the advance security team has been tracking his every move and reporting in.  The full recovery team should be in place no later than midnight local."

"That's a relief - and speak of the devil!  Wow!  Looks like TP06MN is more than just theoretical at this point.  Are we able to get readings from any of the surveillance monitors at this time?"

"With the facility limitations - not much more than heartbeat monitors, body temps and the other basics - overall, we are reading increased stats across the board - nothing life threatening, but certainly indicative of significant 'development' per the research paperwork transmitted by the Assistant Director."

"One more thing Chairwoman - Director Heinrich and his head of security - are both on board a jet and en route.  They should be here in the next few hours - awaiting ETA confirmation due to weather conditions."

"Sounds good.  Keep me posted - and keep pulling every piece of data you can out of that shithole - we can't use these readings for anything official, but every piece of information will help target the future trials."

Discussion - Micro-Crowdfunding Project in Progress!

So, if you've seen the new project and associated poll - you might be wondering how they're connected.

In brief, this is an attempt to experiment...a little belatedly...with a micro-crowd-funding concept.  If I had started this site earlier or Patreon had come around sooner, I might have better integrated the donation art concept in a more uniform/streamlined fashion - but it didn't work out that way.

So, I'm just mucking around with ideas at this point and this seems like a good way to give it a shot.

Basically - as I post the upcoming pics, I want to expand the story further and you as viewers can support and provide input into how it develops.  We're really going to keep it fairly simple this time around though.

Regardless of whether you folks vote for which character you feel deserves to be disciplined for the security lapse, I will commit to pay for a starting pic and a finishing pic of a transformation sequence by Solios.

Now....at this juncture, you're only voting for the characters to be featured - the discipline "format" voting will come next week.  Once we're at that stage, it will cost about $60 for each simple single stage in a transformation sequence for each individual character.  I will be accepting donations towards that goal - and posting daily updates - through my normal paypal donations account - for a short period while the rest of the current sequence is being posted.  For the purposes of easy numbers, I will count all donations in whole numbers towards the end state and "suck up" the paypal fees on my end (as I already do with the donation project). 

Basically...the more detailed a transformation that you wish to see...the more you need to fork out - although frankly, I don't think this is particularly burdensome, since you also get to vote for the transformation concept (from a generally set selection - keeping in mind prior TransRepo Industry projects).  I will be open to additional options - and the comments section on this post is a great place to submit them.  I'm definitely open to comments and feedback - as always.

Thanks!  Vote on!

"How the holy hell did they just walk out with classified samples?....Samples of what?  Well you damn well find out in the next 60 seconds or you'll be in the lockup with the rest of them - what kind of frigging facility are you running down there?  Call me back.

"So, you've got the perp id'd right?  I want a current visual now."

"Lesse, looking at his address, I think I can get in through the entertainment system - bringing something up now."

"Talk about your shitshows - this has Yakima Valley rerun written all over it - and we don't even have it contained this time."

"Working on that Ma'am - security team dispatched and en route."

"What a dump - if HR is scraping the bottom of the barrel to man security at that facility, it'd be better to cut our losses and shutter that one - take a note.  Hold on a sec....That joker was working security?!?  Get Heinrich back on the line ASAP - I want him AND his head of security in my office first light tomorrow. - No I don't want to talk to that imbecile again - get a list of what he's missing and get both of them on a plane now."

"Alright Chairwoman, we just got the validated inventory numbers from the Assistant Director - looks like samples of three experimental pharmaceuticals were taken at this time.  Ahhhh, here's the designations - JY89BR - appears to be an anti-nausea medication for cancer patients - designed to negate some of the more painful side effects of chemo; HE36YU - intended to increase weight gain and maximize caloric intake --- oooh, that one's actually for livestock....and lessee, the third one confirmed missing....well according to the current abstract sample TP06MN is purely in the research stages still - not sure how they wound up with so much of it....and hold on....if I'm looking at the numbers right, those dosages are extremely concentrated - maybe about 100 times the expected dosage per unit weight - sounds like this facility was shorting us in more than a few ways."

"A hundred to one?  Sounds like we may not need to wait too long to find out what TP06MN is for after all - I'm designating this event I3BXXXY071315-1.  Tech - see if you can get me an audio feed through that input - we may as well start recording for posterity." 

"Just one more thing Ma'am....the list of potential side effects for each of these is several pages long - and that's just from the rodent-testing phase - the submissions for primate testing were just submitted on each of these last week."

"Well, we might still get something out of this - let's see the FDA try shutting down this batch of 'field testing' - we're 100% liability free this time around.  Carry on with the assessment.  Record EVERYTHING!" {voiceprint ends, pause recording}

Guess someone still wants to get their workout in.

Some things never change.

The next big project

Well, I've got a nice new multi-character sequence by solios - almost ready to post.  It's kinda similar to An Accident Waiting to Happen - but different in a number of ways too.

That said, I want to try something a little different this time around.  I know posting has been a little slower lately.  My trip took a bit of time, I've been really busy at work and I just started an online graduate program as well.  Still, there are a number of tight projects in the works and with this specific project, I wanted to try a little more audience interaction.

With this next project - I want to do a near-short/immediate term follow-up project.  It will involve viewer voting on a few different topics as well as asking you folks to put your money where your mouth is as far as what you want to see.  It's really a micro-crowdfunding attempt - a little behind the times - and only through my normal paypal format - and wholly separate from the normal Donation Project.  I think patreon might be a good option in the longer term, but for this first little experiment, I'll stick with what's been working so far.

Stay tuned for more details this week.

The Rehabilitation of Princess - 3

Happy 4th of July everyone!  This entry shouldn't have been quite so delayed, but I ended up a little busier than expected.
